I have been hoping to see Suigetsu anywhere near a 7 Swordsmen besides Kisame but seems his timing sucks.

- Also something else interesting I think I figured out is the other 4 swordsmen probably died much earlier then Mangetsu. He trained to become one and took their old swords and mastered them. Thats why Mangetsu had the 4 swords in his scroll as he and Suigetsu where collecting them hence why Suigetsu is after them all.

I get the feeling if they come, that part of the battlefield might have no allied ninja forces @ the time. Even if it would be great to see them get mixed into the war with some type of 3-way fight free for all would be great, I don't think they will wind up in a situation where they can aid or hurt the allied ninjas. But there also be a chance his brother could wind up the last zombie standing and then he would fight and eventually beat him for all the swords renewing the "next generation surpasses the last" theme in Naruto.

^ Where'd you get the sig, POW? Is it from new song or scenes from the anime? Stopped watching the recent fillers.

Madara may have some other tactics in store for them they dont yet foresee. Kabuto may pull the surviving Edo bodies back when he realizes they are loosing and Mangestu may be one of those survivors. Saving him for a reunion with Suigetsu later on.

My favorite swordsmen would be the guy with the twin swords. He just looks awesome. The least favorite is Zabuza's I just don't like it. It can be broken yet it can regenerate. Not as nearly special, as swords that penetrates any defenses, or pierce anything.

- Based on my new assumption I dont think Mangetsu had a specific sword as the other swordsmen likely died and he collected their blades and mastered them all. Thats where Suigetsu gets the idea of finding all the swords.

- Zabuza's is one of my favorites because its simple but ingenious a blade that can repair itself from the blood of your enemies.

Thats what I was thinking at first but Suigetsu stated his brother mastered several of the swords. Think about it how could he master them if the other swordsmen where alive when he was a swordsmen. The clues are right in front of us....

- Mangestu had a scroll with 4 of 7 blades

- Suigetsu goal is collect all of them an idea he gained from his brothers mastery and collection of swords

I think Mangetsu had the 4 blades the Edo summons are using now when he was alive because those 4 swordsmen who owned them where already dead. When he died the swords where locked in his scroll so the Mist lost them.

The point being he didnt have specific sword but an arsenal of blades to choose from so its possible the Hiramekarei could have been part of his collection but it wasnt his only blade.
